For Joe Torre's brother, for Daryl Strawberry, etc.They were more than teams those years they were family and friends.This year I have seen and felt that same feeling about this team. They play to win and do not play trying not to lose.They feel every time they play they are going to win.

They showed that by all those comeback wins!They play not only as a team, but as in the 90's seems to be more like friends. They act like a family that genuinely care for each other!What or who will inspire them to win their 27th Word Championship The first title of many for the New Yankee Stadium. That it's the first year there is also reason to win.It could be one or both of the two people that come to my mind. They really have many reasons or inspirations to win this year! Perhaps they will win it for that little girl Bret Gardner went to visit at the Children's Hospital or other children that are terminally ill the team went to see this year.I think this year at the new Yankee Stadium they will win 27 for "The Boss" and I don't mean Bruce either.I mean their beloved Principle owner George Steinbrenner himself. He will be there I have heard and it will be great to win it with him present! This is the His year!So, go ahead folks and do your match-ups and make all the predictions you want.
